GET INVOLVED

Get involved

As a non-profit organization, we are always looking for volunteers and help in many areas within this organization. Sharing your own miscarriage story is welcomed, as we appreciate new content for our blog and social media pages. Below is a list of opportunities we have available within the EPLA. If you feel compelled to reach out to us for opportunities, please click here, and someone will be in touch shortly.

Early pregnancy loss is the loss of a unique and infinitely valuable life, often bringing great grief to women and families as they suffer this death. In isolation, this weight seems too great for one to bear. But together, when we carry one another's burdens, the weight is eased, making room for peace and hope.

Volunteer opportunities

WritersWe need contributions to our Blog and Newsletter. These can be personal or educational stories about miscarriage. Stories will be reviewed, approved, and edited before publication.

Committee ServiceWe are always looking for volunteers to serve on our committees: Marketing, Fundraising and Grants, Education, and Bill Pay Research

Community Outreach & Event PlanningWe need volunteers to help plan community events such as our Volunteer Appreciation Brunch/Annual Meeting, and our Lunch and Learn for hospital employees.

You can participate in a scheduled assembly event, prepare materials on your own time at home, or get a group together for your own assembly event.
